. . . 'I don't know'?

"Oh well."

"What was that even about."

"I'm trying to figure out what she knows about stuff besides fruit, since it's weird to not know about fruit."

She tap tap taps on the drawing of herself as a mermaid.

"...what is that."

"I think the one on the right is supposed to be a person... and the top halves look similar..."

"You mean those are meant to be arms?"

"I guess? Her arms look normal!"

Since she has more paper now she can try again, bigger and with more detail and having had more experience with putting pencil to paper.  Sometimes she pauses to look at her own body parts or the other kids.  She shades in the hair and gives herself eyes, clawed fingers, a pointy-toothed mouth, a nose - and fins on her tail, and scales all over her body.

"Okay! So some of the words you don't know are just because you used to be a fish. Is that separate from how you have a translation spell?"

"Hey, do you know sign language? I don't know any but I could run and get a book out of the library."

"Oh, what do you know?"

"The alphabet, and like, 'water'..."

She gestures for the one who knows some to show her.

He signs "water"!

Tap tap 'water water' sign sign "water water water"!!

"Whoa."

"I mean, you did just say that was one of the only signs you knew. Try spelling something."

"Okay... something she'll know since she was a fish person..." Sign: C-O-R-A-L.

She thinks about it and after a bit writes down some letters.
